The hunt goes on.
Nine games into a 15-game regular season, the Coupeville High School girls soccer team is still looking for its first win.
A 6-2 loss Thursday at Granite Falls drops the Wolves to 0-5 in North Sound Conference action, 0-7-2 overall.
South Whidbey (5-0, 8-0), which knocked off King’s (4-1, 6-3) in other Thursday action, winning 2-0, controls the race for a league crown at the halfway point of the conference schedule.
Cedar Park Christian (3-2, 6-3), Granite Falls (2-3, 4-5), and Sultan (1-4, 1-6-2) would currently claim the other playoff berths, but Coupeville is just a game off of the #5 seed.
The Wolves play three of their final five league games at home, including a huge rumble with Sultan Oct. 15.
Thursday night CHS got both of its goals from Avalon Renninger.
That gives the senior captain five scores on the year and 11 for her career.
Renninger joins Mia Litttlejohn (35), Kalia Littlejohn (33), Lindsey Roberts (17), and Genna Wright (17) as the only Wolf girls to score in double digits during their time on the soccer pitch.
She’s scored in each of her four seasons, raising her yearly goal totals from one to two to three and now five and counting.
